You will use this site to answer open ended questions in the discussion section. There will be an open-ended question for every week. Additionally, there will be "project" type assignments posted here on the page that you will be required to fulfill. You may use your "wiki" time during the Language Arts block to address your book club assignments, or you may complete them from home.
2/6/12: Project 1: Due Friday, February 17, 2012: Pretend that you can spend a day with one of the characters. Which character would you choose? Why? What character traits of that person would make you want to hang around with them? What would you do - keep in mind, your choices should be based on what you know about the character. You can post your responses here on the wiki.
I would chose Miranda because she is a very nice girl. She sounds like a brave and trustworthy friend. She sounds like that because she cared for Sal when he got punched. She is really caring. I would love to spend a day with her. :) I wonder what will happen next in this book. I think I would hope I like this book. I already like it!:)

I would like to spend a day with Miranda because I think she has a very nice personality and she is a very nice girl. Miranda to me sounds like she is very caring, trustworthy, and a nice friend to have and be around with. I think she is caring because when Sal got punched Miranda cared about him. That is why I think she is a good friend to have and be around with. I think she is trustworthy because from how she acts in the book sounds like you can tell her anything and she wont tell anyone. This is why I would want to spend time with Miranda.
Kaylee Gonzalez's Project
If I could hang out with anyone from the book it would be Annemarie. The reason why I would hang out with her is because she has a lot of personality just like me. She look like she is a fun and helpful person, kinda like me. For example, every time my family or friends ask me if they need any help I help them. She helps at Jimmys I help at Home. Maybe I could help her at Jimmy's Store! We are also very close in age. I would love to hang out with Annemarie! Project 2: February 27, 2012 - Due, March 9, 2012 Review the Ancient Chinese Proverbs list on the class Moodle page. Then, choose 3 - 5 proverbs that relate to Miranda. Explain how the proverbs relate to her and why you chose them. Think about what is going on in the story; the kind of person Miranda is; and how the events of the story affect her. Post your project here.
